Here is shade from the forest. Firstly I hitchhiked between the Petronas gas station and the restaurants under the sun at 9am and no one stopped for one hour, so i walked here. Again one hour waiting then i got two rides to Gerik with two more hours waiting at the restaurants in Kampung Baharu.―GiovanniTonucci

Come here, opposite "SMALL COFF SLOWBAR". The cool young guys in the café will help you find a ride to Betong. They literally let me sit in the garden offered a cold coffee while one of them, Husen, was hitchhiking on my behalf. They immediately gave my contact to 2 brothers in Betong who later picked me up by their scooters, treated me with Roti and rice, offered me a shower at their family's home which is also a second hand clothing shop to trade your stuff at, showed me around the town and took me on scooter first and on foot then up to the Malaysian passport control, way after sunset.Don't hitchhike opposite the gas station 150m east under the tree shade, drivers are too busy with not running into each other

Wonderful road and amazing people. This is PTT, the first gas station to the south direction. How to get here? From Yala train station, exit the building, turn right and walk 150m till the Songthaew (shared, open taxis) on the right, ask for Bannang Sareng (south of Yala town, 20baht) or Krong Pinang (here, 30 baht). Songthaews should leave also Saha Yala transport company (check google maps), not sure about the main bus terminal in the west. If you get a ride to the next town Bannang Sata follow my indications on the green hitchhiking spot below 👇🏽―GiovanniTonucci
